Assuming the BNP formed a government, how would you go about ending immigration?

Yes, everyone pledges to do better with the economy. And how would the BNP go about that?

So you're going to ban left-wingers from teaching?
Do you see the irony?

er? by ending immigration

The restoration of the national economy means either taking back or creating companies owned by the British people or government

It's already publicly owned. How would you go about "taking it back"?

The BBC has been a Left wing pro-multi-racial organisation for over 40 years now it needs a clear out and to be re-staffed with patriots

So you're going to ban left-wingers from teaching?
Do you see the irony?

BNP members are basically banned from teaching. But that aside I was thinking of restoring Nationalistic and Conservative values in the schools instead of Left Wing multi-culturalism, Liberliams and Socialism

Considering that state controlled education and media is socialistic in nature, it seems rather ironic that one would try to take them back from the left.

As long as the state has its fingers in these luctrative assets (for its perpetual purposes), people will forever bicker over what is taught in them.

In another thread you made the comment that libertarianism assumes its own truth.

Is there really any difference in your own sentiment here? Surely the fact that you wish to espouse conservative and nationalistic values in classrooms is a tacit belief in their truth.

I would much rather send my child to a school that taught - and was critical of - all political ideologies (in a politics class of course).

However, as long as this arguing over what we teach in schools continues, we will never gain this level of choice.

It's not the state and it's institutions I object to but who controls them.
Them or Us.

Liberty is mealy the vortex in which political war is waged not a political goal in itself.

I wouldn’t even ban communist party members from teaching.
Im not concerned about who teaches but what they teach.

Good. Then the question becomes how do you intend to control what is taught?
Is there any need to?

The market can and should take care of this. It is powerful and precise tool unlike the blunt force of state-mandated curricula.
